LEONE LOCAL CHAT.

governor Wilson, who figured dur
ing the campaign carnival as a sugges.
lively personal representation of the
borean element, has further distinguish
ed himself by taking sides with the
Jefferson IAN wing of the State
Democracy. to the painful surprise OF
the surplus on the other side of the politi-
cal chasm. 1t looks like Cadmean VIC
tory, but the appointment of MIR. Lucas
will at least relieve him from the charge
of being an i'll wind that blows nobody
any good.'
When have had anything to do and
have not done it right. have generally
had the pleasure of doing it over again
and have no compunctions about ap-
plying the same law to others. The peo-
pie who handle my " copy " at the office,
from the editor down to the subordi-
nate imps, blame all their mistakes on
me, and say that in the matter of scrawl,
mine completes favorably with that which
scared Nebuchadnezzar Horace Gree
lys, and that of other distinguished
characters. This is their standard 8 soft
wer-to-turn-away-w wrath racket. If
it should happen to be tinctured with
fact. more's the pity. 1t is an accom-
piishment they make you pay for. A
Cadmean victory, and Camden VIC
tory, may be analogous in interpreted
ton as they are in sound but the trans
position of one for the other, brings my
nicely turned political conception, to dis
astrous misrepresentation. If you will
consider what the trident combination
of Rum, Romanism and Rebellion, done
for the country, you will not wonder
that, in the existing respiration, combi-
nation and desperation of West Va. poll
tics, am bound to have my sentiments
correctly interpreted. And as for chang
ing any political inscription,
Pilates answer to the Jews, will do for
me.

Overshoes are about the best friend
one can have nowadays; and the chances
are that the first Spring Bonnet didn't
get chance to see its shadow which is
to be deplored, for it would have been SO
frightened at the apparition that it
wouldn come out again. Ditto as to
the hat. 1t grows more and more like
the houses built in crowded cities the
less foundation it has to rest on. the
higher it goes in the air.
What's that about penetrating

much; you evidently don't know what
you owe to fashion, UNLESS the bills are
sent in.] 1t is relaxation to
the feminine mind, and quite as much
solace as your cigar is to you when you
want to rest from hard thinking. You
know how many of you are addicted
TO that fatal habit. You, the world,
society, and other people who are not
society, are largely the gamers via fash
ion. Less fashion, more gossip, more
gossip, less fashion, either way you pay
your assessment for the indulgence of
the dear creatures, for women must

sal world. and you can't escape from the
